re: #214 Jay C

Question both serious and rhetorical:
How long do these major antitrust suits take to wind through the court system?
My guess is some 5-10 years after Apple and Microsoft will have stopped supporting their next OSs….

In US v Microsoft, the earliest events (including a settlement with the feds) started in like 1993/94. The law suit wasn’t filed until mid-1998, the DC Circuit Court of Appeal didn’t get the case until 2001. And the case likely would have dragged on longer, but in Sept 2001, the government announced they were no longer seeking to break up Microsoft but instead settle the case
